the connection is just a 100meg cat 5e between front and back end, i can stream 1080p video no problem.
the backend tv server is running on windows xp pro
the file server is a software raid program called "freenas" the only disadvantage with this program is that you cannot grow your raid 5 eg you have to re-format ur drive when you want to add more hdds to the raid, this is y when i upgrade im switching programs but freenas is still realy good.
thanks for that info !!
so what program are you thinking of in the future? cause any hardware raid is too expensive, right?
thanks !!
